@JamelBe Haha...I love Steve...but i hear you... Just one huge aww crap story haha...for editorial balance. Like.... it was working perfectly fine......except maybe an ocassional whine......but i have ADD ......and I decided to run software X as a preventative measure....then I rebooted...and as Marie Osmond said...Oh crap.
Are there any failure stories about Spinrite? As far as I'm conserned a "failure" would be Spinrite didn't recover any data on the drive and punched a user in the face.
Really it's designed to recover data from a drive when nothing is recoverable by other means so all stories are going to be either a success or non-successful, but it's hard for a product that is a last resort to truly fail.
Funny thought. But it appears irony is lost on many of our fellow Jaiku folks. I found the idea of it pretty funny though. "Dear Steve: My hard drive failed to boot so I bought Spinrite and set it running. After six months of running constantly in a closet, it still wouldn't boot! You fraud! Sincerely, A disgruntled Spinrite customer!! P.S. Do you think dropping my laptop down a stairwell damaged the drive?"
Would you? Could you? Fix it in a closet Steve I am? Would you? Could you? Fix it in a porta freezer Steve I am? I do so like my hard drive and data Steve I am. (With apologies to Dr. Seuss.)

The day you need spinrite, you'll be happy if it doesn't fail.

No one else in the world has balance when promoting/advertising their product. Why should Steve?

That doesn't seem to be so much irony as plain stupidity but maybe that's just because it's lost on me {shrug}
